Heb je de Olifant gezien die Joris aan het printen was, real size? http://olifant.worldanimalprotection.nl Die doet hetzelfde, met een phyton scriptje stukjes gcode aan elkaar plakken.

Congratulations Sander and Ultimaker

Geen ervaring met ABS, alleen met PLA, maar de toleranties van hun materiaal is echt een ramp. Ze hadden opgegeven 3mm ± 0.05mm toen ik er specifiek naar gevraagd had. In plaats daarvan krijg ik 2,84 en 2,88 en 2.94 als gemiddelde voor 3 verschillende kleuren waardoor wissen ommogelijk is. Ook is blauw pla doorzichtig(de rest niet) en zit rood op een andere spoel van een andere fabricant. Goedkoop spul, niet het beste spul

ouch! I was so close to doing the same. Glad I stopped at the right moment. I'd say you need a new brass pipe and the peek. The Teflon, heating block and nozzle will be ok. Just heat the aluminum and use a wrench to get the brass out of the aluminum block

Isn't there a military variant of 2), one they launch by throwing it, or wait, that's fixed wing. Foldable is interesting, springs even more, but that would introduce some more complex dynamic effects I'd say

Waaaaaaalibi world was awesome!

ColorFabb did some exstensive testing, of which the results are about to be released next week. Though I've heard from multiple sources that ABS is not the best for an overnight print. We'll see what the research ColorFabb did points to. I've been printing PLA nonstop in my student room, which is not really ventilated that well tbh.

The team, you, me, everyone wants it, wants it to function like it should, and wants it as soon as possible. This isn't going to happen faster then it will, and you have to be patient. It's a shame you bought an UM2 expecting dual extruder now, but it will come. I want it to be out of beta for UM1 *did someone say 2 announcements 18th of Sept?*

I've been voting for all I've seen so far, completing the rest in a minute I'll spread some word

Wauw, ik had bijna een engelse reactie geschreven hier.... Misschien heeft het zin Sander, om alle Nederlandse topics uit OTHER hier heen te verplaatsen

I also believe the fan cooling it from one side(the good side), and not the other side(the hot bad side) is the reason you see it at one side only. Dual fans could allow you to print at a little higher temperature I guess.

My first attempt was stuck. Then I got really busy printing other things, and now I won't be able to print it before the 1st :(

Hack your machine with several types of upgrades. Like an evening how to make your machine as fast as possible(bigger nozzle, optimization in settings), or as quite as possible(dampers, quiet extruders), or other topics. Sharing useful printed upgrades with each other. Mass production algorithm(pushing things off the buildplate, or design for mass producing). Print challenges(everyone get's the same material and random file. You all have 2 hours GO!) Beta testing new ultimaker products, or brainstorming sessions with the R&D department atleast (I think we could use an upgrade that allows you to cool your bed/chamber, to be able to put even more material down without it smudging out) /will think of more Edit: Octoprint and monitoring etc? edit2: Joris Z unlimited demo

T-228 minutes GET EXCITED!!! Not bringing a printer though, have to finish a print :( Edit: Sander, People can just download Polycom software and tap into the ProtoSpace Poly that is there anyway I did it when writing my internship report and I was missing everyone there :-P

Same here now, it is super loud for like 2 minutes(next door loud), and then it quites down occasionally making a little more noise. I'll try the oil thing, but what if the sticker doesn't stick anymore ?

Wow that is one heck of a great print/gift! Do I spot the geared vase from Jelle@protospace? The roses:O so pretty!

4) Is it possible to use the G4 code with S1800 for example to delay the start of a print by 30 minutes? This would be extremely interesting to start prints when I'm already asleep. This way I can print overnight, but still fall asleep like normal(student housing with 1 room and printer in the bathroom)

Wow,I was thinking how this would shape itself in the near future. As I believe that the person who manages to build and market a system where there is indeed some kind of 1 print per payment(but acceptable print), will be able to make quite some money, if the big companies get onboard. N.B. This system would be for companies to customers, not individuals to costumers, there would also be some money there, but not the big bucks... As for selling your model/stl/gcode. Until we can make sure the actual information is not copied(you could still read it from a printer that is printing), it doesn't make sense to try to sell your models and be upset when they end up somewhere else. One thing that also crosses my mind when I think of monetization of 3D printing is the following, and I think it closely relates to selling your models. When something is open source, and you print a copy, can you sell that copy? And when it is NC? 3D Hubs is basically doing that. The next question is how the price is made up: material+electricity costs, working time, or even some kind of fee? Because, who is checking how you got that model? Can you make selfdestructable files, or embed the building information in the print so that if it breaks you can try again? Like DNA, building things with the information needed to build it. Could all printers be cloud connected in the future, and models checked from a database? Or is the way to monetize to spread cool free files, and let people pay you for making something custom? Interesting stuff! This is a good example of something that could be the topic off Ulti-evenings, or some kind of conference (call) or other get together

New Question: 3) When I print something my settings that make sure there is no underextrusion also cause my print to stick to the raft terribly. I believe I might be overextruding a little, 107% flow, but anything less causes underextrusion. I print with rafts to ensure that mass producing parts stick well to the buildplate when I'm not there. First I tried to increase the airgap up to 0.5mm, which was definitely an improvement!!! But still there were parts of the raft sticking to my print. Then I figured out that with the Tweak at Z plugin I could start with a low flow(100%) so that the raft will be easily and after the first layers of the object tweak to 107% again. The question is actually twofold, 3a) How would you normally improve the removability of the raft? I believe my method of high airgap is not really the way to go... and/or 3b) When I use the print one at a time option how can I make sure that each raft+first layers is printed with 100% flow, and the rest of the part with 107%. When I do tweak at layer I would need to define all start and end layers(time consuming). Is this done automatically when you use the height tweak? So it would start with setting A, until 2 mm, then use the tweak at height setting B for 2-80mm to finish the part. Then start with setting A again for the next part, until 2mm, before using the tweak at height setting B again for 2-80, etc? The short term solution is to use print all at once, then I know it's printing like it should, but I kinda dislike the option since it puts everything closer together and curls up rafts easier somehow and gives stringing.

Perhaps just storable in the printer?

Noooo! The picture upload is broken so I can't post the pictures, but I just salvaged some parts that had the raft stuck to the bottom by putting them into a mill Just removed 1 layer height ^^ It actually worked pretty well! This makes me think of how you can 3D print and mill pretty accurate parts!

Love the idea! Some parts could even be printed if accuracy allows for it. I'm in for working on this one! @cons: volume is limited, but if you pick the parts so that it could also be mounted outside of the frame(i.e. design/sell a bigger housing) than you have both the easy and cheap, and the larger stuff!

No more pictures :eek: ?

Do you also have a right fan, or is the Blecheimer version ok for that one?
